Supported Activity Stream object properties 

IBM Connections supports some, but not all, Activity Stream object properties.

Activitystrea.ms specification defines object types and their properties. The News application uses the following object types: Object, Service, Article, Folder, File, Note, Comment, Status, Group, Person, Photo, Bookmark. Each table below contains the properties for an object and which of those properties are supported by the News application.

The first table contains properties for the Object object type. All other object types have the same properties as Object. Their tables only contain properties unique to them. For example, Service objects have all the properties of Object objects, plus an icon property.
